Imdad Ali Bahr

KHuda-parast hue hum na but-parast hue

Imdad Ali Bahr

1810-1878

ḳhudā-parast hue ham na but-parast hue

kisī taraf na jhukā sar kuchh aise mast hue

jinheñ ġhurūr bahut thā namāz roze par

ga.e jo qabr meñ saare vuzū shikast hue

hamāre dil meñ jo vahshat ne aag bhaḌkā.ī

sharar bhī rah ga.e pīchhe ye garm jast hue

jo apne va.ade vafā vo kare karam us

ki ham se to na vafā vāda-e-alast hue

ġhurūr kar ke nigāhoñ se gir ga.e maġhrūr

buland jitne hue utne aur past hue

rahā ḳhumār ki sadme se chuur shīsha-e-dil

magar na sā.il-e-mai tere mai-parast hue

lagā.e ḳhaar lagīñ TaTTiyāñ bhī mehñdī

ruke na bu-e-chaman laakh band-o-bast hue

ḳhizāñ meñ bhī na chhuTā dāman-e-chaman ham se

hue jo suukh ke kāñTā to ḳhār-bast hue

banā hai panja-e-qassāb dast-e-zulm un

sab uñgliyāñ huiiñ chhuriyāñ ye tez dast hue

habāb se bhī habīboñ ke dil meñ nāzuk-tar

nazar ke bhī jo lage Thes ye shikast hue

taḌap dikhā na ise 'bahr' māhī-e-dil

ġhazab huā jo vo tār-e-nigāh shast hue
